BigCanadianM Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 A thread to give fellow Coinpeeps a heads up on eBay auctions. Anyways: 50 Panda coins ~$100 shipping Rather shady, but thats eBay at times. http://cgi.ebay.com/Chinese-Panda-Coin-Col...1QQcmdZViewItem Hmm...exact same pictures as http://cgi.ebay.com/50-Panda-money-coin-19...1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San_Miguel98 Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Ludicrous. EMS from China is not as expensive as some of these scammers will have you believe. Let's see...25 x 1 ounce silver coins & 25 x 1/10th ounce gold coins. Let's make it easier, add some cushioning and just call everything an ounce. 50 coins weighing 50 ounces. That'll make up for the packaging. 50 ounces = 1417.5 grams, but let's round that up to 1500. According to EMS' website, a 1500g package from Beijing to the US would cost 430 RMB ($55) According to Fedex, a basic express letter from Beijing to the US would cost 401 RMB ($52) According to them, they want 180 Australian Dollars to ship to Australia. 180 AUD= $148.00. EMS price to Australia = 320 RMB ($42) Fedex price to Australia = 418 RMB ($54) I reported them using the link on the bottom of the page here: http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-shipping.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San_Miguel98 Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 lol...obviously not. someone asked him how much shipping was to canada. he wants $200 usd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 What's more wrong is that these coins are not even originals, meaning that they only weigh perhaps just over half of what it is supposed to be, i.e. 1 ounce of pure silver might be 23 grams of copper plated silver. Note that there are NO denomination on all of the "coins" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San_Miguel98 Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 are you trying to imply that this chinese seller, who has low feedback, a poor rating, and is gouging people over a hundred dollars in shipping, is also selling fake coins?!?! unheard of!
